Brain aging in mammals is characterized by morphological and functional changes in neural cells. Macroscopically, this process, leading to progressive cerebral volume loss and functional decline, includes memory and motor neuron deficits, as well as behavioral disorders. Morphologically, brain aging is associated with aged neurons and astrocytes, appearing enlarged and flattened, and expressing enhanced pH-dependent β-galactosidase activity.

Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the complete blood cell counts (CBC) of 15 donkeys, comparing 8 Asinara breed donkeys (with oculocutaneous albinism) and 7 Sardo breed donkeys, all under the same conditions and monitored in June 2024.
- Asinara donkeys had significantly higher red blood cell (RBC) counts than Sardo donkeys, showing RBCs with smaller diameters and more variation in size (anisocytosis).
- Although all donkeys appeared healthy, Sardo donkeys showed mild eosinophilia, while the unique hematological traits of the Asinara breed were noted, particularly during the positive photoperiod.
